The song "Ashes 2 Ashes" by Huskii explores themes of love, addiction, self-destruction, and regret. The lyrics reflect the artist's struggle with drug addiction and the consequences it has had on his relationships. The song begins with the acknowledgment that the artist didn't lose love, but rather, he abused it. He feels numb and trapped in his addiction, symbolized by his obsession with purple drank (a mixture of codeine/promethazine cough syrup and soda). He mentions how his Nan (grandmother) has suffered because of his actions, and he has taken his loved ones for granted while standing up for those who deceive him. Huskii questions whether he even knows what love is and feels like he belongs in the garbage. He believes that his drug-addicted parents have influenced his behavior and that he no longer cares. However, despite his confusion, he loves and misses someone, but their relationship is plagued by too many issues. The artist expresses regrets, wishing he could take back the harm he caused. He feels alone in his bed, regretting how he enabled the person he loved by giving them drugs. He wishes he could change the past and make things right. The chorus expresses a self-destructive mentality, with Huskii believing that he is not worth anything and that he hurts the people he loves. He loved someone deeply but feels they don't deserve the pain he has caused them. Later in the song, Huskii reflects on the love of his life being thrown away and his struggles with addiction, mentioning drugs like cocaine. He feels ashamed and wants to run to the person he loves, but he is caught in a cycle of self-destruction. He acknowledges that he should have done better for them but ended up turning his back on them. Huskii recognizes that his addiction has made him like his parents, whom he despises. He sees his flaws in the mirror and expresses a desire to hurt himself. He believes that he will end up in the hospital, dead on arrival, due to his deteriorating mental health. The song ends with the realization that his partner would be better off without him. He believes he is a loser and not worth anything, but he will never forget the love they shared and thought they would be together forever. Overall, "Ashes 2 Ashes" is a heartfelt and introspective song that portrays the artist's struggles with addiction, self-hatred, and the impact it has on his relationships.
